Questions & Answers about Kartal buraya yuva yapabilir.
How can we tell if yapabilir means "might make" or "is able to make"?
The form -abil plus the aorist ending -ir can express both ability ("can make") and probability ("might make"). There is no grammatical difference between the two in this affirmative form. You have to rely on context to know which one makes more sense. Here, predicting what the eagle "might" do is the most natural reading.
Why does the sentence use the dative word buraya (to here) instead of the locative burada (at here)?
In English, you make a nest "in" or "at" a place. But in Turkish, verbs involving placing, building, or adding something to a location often use the dative case to show direction towards that place. The eagle is bringing materials and building the nest onto this spot, so we use buraya.
Why is yuva used without any case suffixes instead of yuvayı?
yuva (nest) is the direct object, but it doesn't have the specific accusative ending because the eagle isn't making a specific, already-known nest, but rather just "a nest". When an object is general or indefinite, it stays bare and sits right next to the verb.
What are the exact suffixes attached to the verb stem yap in this sentence?
It breaks down into yap (make), plus the possibility suffix abil, plus the aorist tense suffix ir. The aorist is always used with the possibility suffix to express that something is generally possible or might happen in the future.
